Orcs in Orsk having a bad day!
More clear proof that the long journey, starting pre-dawn in Ukraine, was well worth it for Dr One, who handed out more medicine to cure the Moscow regime of its sick war-crimes and terrorism.

More breaking news.
A kid in Orenburg region has filmed smoke rising in the city of Orsk, quite possibly the very large oil refinery here, while there is an oil depot nearby.
This is very close to the Kazakhstan border.

No missiles, but 119 UAVs were fired by Russia last night + this morning, mostly on the frontline, but energy facilities were attacked a long way from the line of contact, in Odesa
Poor air defence numbers with a success rate of just 47%
With 7 still flying, only 53 drones were stopped with 59 hits

So much new stuff going on today that I've not even shown the daily figures. Let me correct that now.
Just over 1000 more Russians sacrificed for Tsar Putin, but nothing spectacular to report here.

In its morning report, Russia's MoD also announced the complete capture of Nove and Novouspenivske villages, which were in the grey zone, and I think this is much more believable than the Kupiansk claims.

Russia has been celebrating the anniversary of their humiliating retreat in Kherson in typical fashion, by trying to kill civilians.
Reports of cluster munitions in Bilozerka, while the city centre, coastal and eastern districts in Kherson have also been shelled with artillery.

Here is President Zelenskyy's reaction on the 3rd anniversary of the liberation of Kherson.
11 years ago Russia had captured two of Ukraine's mainland regional capital cities. After losing Kherson, the "world's second army" has exactly the same number despite a decade's fighting.

11 November is of course a significant day.
Remembrance Day in most of the free world, now including Ukraine.
It's also the 3rd anniversary of the liberation of Kherson.
Back then it was Day 261 of Russia's full invasion, and this is one of the joyous videos I published on (pre-Musk) Twitter.

I'd like to thank the FSB for, even by their standards, a comical fantasy today.
In this Russian fiction, British Intel, a NATO air base and even @bellingcat are all implicated. Featuring two stellar believable FSB witnesses🤡🤡

Ukraine continues to launch counter attacks - the low cloud cover offers more freedom for both sides to try to advance with drones less effective.

It's very unusual for a repeat attack a few hours later, but sirens were heard again in Saratov this morning, and then a big explosion was heard.
With low cloud cover, it may sound worse than it is - it's possibly Russian air defence hitting a target.

Wednesday will be the 350th day of street protests against the Moscow controlled government.
This was the scene in Tbilisi much earlier this evening - they remember Ukraine, we must remember them.

In the Russian city of Engels (just over the river from Saratov), local authorities say the drone attack "caused damage to civilian infrastructure. All emergency services are on scene."
Meanwhile in Saratov the refinery entertains locals with the fire show.

There's been a stinging rebuke for Viktor Orban from Croatia's Prime Minister.
Andrej Plenković called his Hungarian counterpart a liar, saying they can easily supply all the oil Hungary needs, and he's surprised the U.S. falls for the stories.
